4.3 Operating principle
Ultrasound occurs due to friction in pipelines and at leakages in many flow processes
involving gases, liquids or solids. These ultrasonic signals are picked up by the ARImetec
®
-
S , which makes their intensity audible through a loudspeaker or headphones. The
ultrasonic level is simultaneously displayed on an LCD or an LED scale.
The ARImetec
®
-S allows faults to be precisely located and their magnitude assessed.
The ARImetec
®
-S is a battery-powered, mobile, hand-held instrument. Ultrasound is
detected by means of various sensors that can be connected either with a cable or directly
to the testing device.
